Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[edisonbaggins]

If I have all the speakers set to large (full range) will I still get an LFE signal coming out of the subwoofer outputs on the AVR ?

Yes. LFE is dedicated to the sub pre-out.

Normally, Beefalo, FULL RANGE SPEAKERS have adequate bass response and usually don't need a sub. IMO, setting satellite or smaller speakers to full range settings might result in damage to those smallish speakers...and result in 'unnatural' frequency response.

You will be pleased to hear that I'm banging the AIX drum long and hard again.
I have sought out this one for a long time, at the right price.
Finally it appeared on Amazon.com
I cannot recommend this one enough, it has everything.
Fantastic live show
Superb audio tracks
I haven't searched yet to see if it's mentioned elsewhere on this site.
If you can land yourself a copy, I can promise you, for the live show alone, you will not be disappointed.

OK, I'm going to confess I've never really been a fan of Depeche Mode... as a metal head in the 80's, listening to them was musical blasphemy, lol... plus most of their music that I heard on the radio was somewhat gloomy for my tastes... still, over the years I've started to really like early 80s synth pop, so I decided to sift through the catalog of Depeche Mode surround releases, and to my surprise I found a bunch of songs I liked enough to add to my master (and slave) surround list:

(Unfortunately, these are the only ones I was really digging, but still... I'm making progress )

Note: The songs from "Speak & Spell" definitely benefit from boosting the rear channels a bit

You're making progress my friend.
On your list I know which role I would rather play
"my master (and slave) surround list:"

Back in the day, I used to stare at that album cover for hours. All kinds of little things to see.

Wow, I've never actually looked at it closely until now... very cool!

You can even turn it to different angles, you'll see even other faces, shadows, odd things here and there.

I looked a little at the AIX web page, pretty cool, lots of good stuff.
I don't understand there ordering?
You van purchase a hard disc. I understand.
You can purchase the same in download?
What is audience and stage? From that perspective? Would one be a waste of time to listen? Or are audience and stage both cool?
If I order anything I don't want to screw up my purchase. Wow, lots of ordering so far and it's only February.

Pretty much self discribing. Audience is mic'd as if your sitting out in front of the group, stage is more like your sitting onstage with the performers grouped around you. They're both cool, depends on which you like more. Maybe best to get 1 disc first which have everything to learn what you like

I'm a big Hawkwind fan. After Lemmy left I prefer the lineups with my pal Alan Davey on bass.
My favorites are the "big band" (including Simon House, Tim Blake) live shows 2000-2002.
3 or 4 different Keyboards, Synths/ Violins all producing a wall of sound.
My favorites are:
Canterbury Faire - Spaced out in London - Yule Ritual.

Not 5.1, but their latest ‘All Aboard The Skylark’ is utterly fantastic. I typically play it with my Yamaha’s Neural THX Music DSP and it’s some of the best faux surround I’ve heard in ages! Very impressive and it comes with an almost as good 2nd disc of acoustic interpretations of some of their ‘hits’.
